On Saturday, Man United lost to Brighton 3-1, and Christian Eriksen came out to talk after the game.
Losing three games in a row in the Premier League, according to Christian Eriksen, is unacceptable for Manchester United.
After losing to Arsenal at the Emirates, Erik ten Hag wanted his team to bounce back, but the team’s return to action after the international break didn’t go as planned, and Brighton continued their impressive recent record against United.
Although United had the advantage for the first 15 minutes, those opportunities were missed and a familiar face After Danny Welbeck gave Brighton a 1-0 lead, the visitors controlled possession of the ball. Rasmus Hojlund thought he had equalized for Brighton just before halftime, but VAR reviewed the play and disallowed the effort because Marcus Rashford had wandered out of play during the buildup.
Pascal Gross gave Brighton a 2-0 lead in the second half, and Joao Pedro increased it in the 73rd. At the other end, Hannibal Mejbri promptly answered after coming off the bench, although it was only a consolation goal.
After the game, Eriksen told BBC Sport: “It is a heavy one. We must examine ourselves. Although we made some changes, we are unsatisfied. We had a lot of controlled moments in the first half.
They had lots of possession but few opportunities. They then convert on their first opportunity, and because of their ball-keeping strategy, we had to go after it. However, we still had opportunities to enter the game again.
The little things do matter. When we scored today, we had an offside at Arsenal, but it was out of play. The minor details we are lacking and a little luck are all it takes to succeed and reap the rewards of our labor.
“Every game at the beginning of the season, regardless of who you play, is crucial. We put our attention into our games, and we always aim to win. However, we have already lost three, so we need to do better.
